SAVING SWITZERLAND

ONE-STOP SHOP

Schutz & Rettung Zürich (SRZ), Switzerland’s largest civilian rescue organisation, has equipped its command vehicle with Riedel’s Artist and Bolero intercom systems and RSP-1216HL SmartPanel. Since summer 2022, the vehicle has successfully completed many emergency missions thanks to Riedel’s reliable communications systems. SRZ includes the fire brigade, ambulance service, civil defence, operations control centre and fire police, responding to major incidents like accidents and natural disasters. The command vehicle holds three separate rooms: work, report and support. “Everything must absolutely work 100% reliably in the event of a crisis,” says Erwin Engel, sales manager Switzerland. Thomas Hauert, staff officer and chief situation and command support, concurs.

MwareTV is providing a one-stop shop for US-based ISPs, covering more than 200 channels in a single contract. Users launching services will save time, with deployments taking just a few weeks. MwareTV’s cloud-hosted streaming SaaS includes subscriber and channel management, as well as interface creation via the innovative AppBuilder. “We have broad experience in delivering total solutions for residential multi-unit communities and commercial chains,” says CEO Sander Kerstens. The SaaS avoids complex legal and technical issues, allowing these bodies to ‘provide the best service.’

“In order for front-line emergency forces to manage events in the best possible way, we are dependent on operational resources that provide an overall view of the situation as quickly as possible.” Enter Riedel. Its Artist intercom system integrates SRZ’s Polycom digital radios, allowing the team to exchange pertinent information in real time. Additionally, the Bolero beltpacks each have a 17-hour battery life, aiding the chief officers and volunteer rescuers during long shifts.

FEMALE-CENTRED FAST

Germany’s Mainstream Media AG, with help from Amagi solutions, has launched its first female-centred Free Ad-supported Streaming TV (FAST) channel, Starke Frauen (Strong Women). This channel adds to Germany’s rapidly growing FAST adoption.

Starke Frauen features international, female-led shows, and is available on Rakuten TV and LG channels. Mainstream Media AG deployed Amagi Cloudport and Thunderstorm for cloud-based channel playout and server-side advertisement insertion, respectively.

FULL FLEX

Dalet has launched FlexMobile, a mobile app for iOS and Android devices, as part of its Dalet Flex media logistics platform. The app lets users work with asset collections, perform reviews, add timecode-based comments and share content quickly. The cloud-based Dalet Flex platform is used to manage multimedia libraries, streamline production workflows and

facilitate supply chains. The addition of FlexMobile expands connectivity to digital content, while other updates – like added functionality in FlexReview and extended language support – make for a more efficient, accessible platform. With hybrid deployment capabilities, businesses can use the cloud while capitalising on their existing on-premises investments.
